Thai Watch Challenge FAQ, Questions & Discussion

 Elisheva:

An earlier support role is still a title with an actor whose first main role was in 202- so it technically fits the stated criteria.

This was my thinking so I wanted to verify :)

Actor - Andrew Gregson dramas: Older dramass have fansubs. Others; channel subs. I haven't checked to see is channels have included the older ones yet.
recommendations:
"Voice" (2019).
"Muean Khon La Fark Fah" (2017).
"12 Rasee" (2003).
"Massaya" (2000).

 Jelena Petrovic:

Muean Khon La Fark Fah was on my list before but I lost the capacity to watch movie length episodes in the meantime xD

Understand that. Made to watch once a week as airing on TV it doesn't transfer well to online watching; I think.  He was good in "Voice". I was looking for police/crime series  and"12 Rasee" is probably one of my favorites. Which led to the list. lol

 Elisheva:

oh is this like an MDL for Thailand? hmm.

Never joined. Lurker. lol 

I don't plan my Challenge ahead of time like most of you do, but I do add in relevant titles as I come across them and then shuffle them around as I watch. Have been adding in titles for Pok Piyathida, including a couple I keep not getting around to and decided I'm getting her in my 2026 year in review =D <3

Tangential to that, I wondered if it might work to have some conversation around the actors & actresses in this year's 1A list. Recommendations, anything else. A separate thread would make sense for finding posts again but getting people to join a new thread is hit or miss and it could easily be Anusaya and myself posting about Winai Kraibutr in a thread instead of feeds =D =D =D

Speaking of Mek Winai, I made a Signal sticker pack from Nang Nak screen shots. If anyone is on Signal and wants it, DM me.

 Jelena Petrovic:

An option for the "Actor whose first leading role was in 2025":

Thanks Jelena. This brings up an interesting question - MuTeLuv as a whole began 2025, but this particular bit aired 2026. Though it would have been filmed in 2025.
(MuTeLuv is a GMMTV anthology of stand-alone minis. MDL has the anthology listed in one section in the actor's credits, the stand-alone in another. Both helpfully labelled Drama.)

So which is the most appropriate year for the actors' first main roles? 2025 or 2026? 

Opinions please. I think I would choose 2026.

Hm, yes, that's a good point - should we go by release date (and most likely filming date) for the anthology as a whole or the release date for the particular segment?

 autumn iris:

When one door closes, the other opens, I put it in enemies to lovers. (16-3). Maybe you need one? for that category?

I already have dramas for first leading role in 2025 and 2026, this was just an extra option. I was thinking of using this one for the Channels prompt because I'm not sure how deep I want to dive into the Tags ones xD
